if u run Spybot Search and Destroy and Malwarebytes and it comes back go to this thread and follow every step - it's tedious but you'll get rid of what you have. some of them are very sneaky and even though your spyware removal says it got rid of it it will come back.

i just went through this twice - i have no idea why my AVG isn't catching this shit.

i just went through this twice - i have no idea why my AVG isn't catching this shit.

it usually "comes back" the same way it came in on the first place, last month I got some shit twice due to some Adobe whatever exploit. I did my Adobe whatever updates, and voila, never saw that shit again (knocking on wood)

so yes, after you clean house, try your best to find out how you got it so you can protect yourself

another vote for CCleaner though, run that too


PS The shit I got was really hardcore - blocking sites, multiple pop-ups, processes running in the background, changed the desktop background, disabled the Windows Task Manager, installed a fake boot up screensaver - that was really ingenious on their site since the moment you start running your Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware you see Windows booting up and you start hitting the restart buttons and interrupt the scan, it is actually a screensaver, all you have to do is hit a few keys on the keyboard to get out of it
